Abstract. The National Football League (NFL) has long had this idea of home-field advantage when teams play at home where they win more oftheir games. However, home games entail many things such as home fan atten- dance and weather. In considering the mean winning percentage of home games played during the winter months of December, January, and February by Cold Weather Teams, and the mean winning percentage of all home games played and all December, January, and February home games played, the null hypothesis would be that there is no difference in the means. By rejecting the null hypothesis, it would lead to the conclusion that cold weather plays a fac- tor in determining NFL games. This hypothesis testing is important because if teams in \colder weather climates" gain a significant advantage during the colder months of December, January, and February, the impacts of playing in an open grass stadium during these months will have a greater impact on the playoffs and draft, which is decided based on final NFL standings. Thefinding is that Cold Weather Teams have a significant advantage when compared to the other data found, which suggests that cold weather tends to impact NFL games more than expected. 1. Introduction Before the start of the 2021 league year and since the 2002 season, the NFL has been composed of 32 teams, each team playing 16 games, 8 of which are considered home games [1]. From 2002-2019, the NFL would play a total of 266 games that included a home team, which included playoff games, but excluded the Super Bowl which is played on a neutral field; however, in 2020, the NFL expanded the playoff field by one team in the American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC) to create 268 games that included a home team [2]. However, the 2020 NFL season is full of oddities, including changes to the schedule of 11 teams due to the Covid-19 pandemic [3], resulting in the Denver Broncos without a starting quarterback (QB) play a game [4], and it is also the first time the host 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification. 62D05.

In completion, this research project is trying to reject the null hypothesis that there is not a significant advantage for the Cold Weather Teams, during the months of December, January, and February. 2. Method and Materials The research project defines home games as games that are played at ateam's home-field or was voluntarily played at a neutral site in agreement with theNFL that the game would count as a home game for that team in order to include games played in London, Canada, and other places. The definition used to deter- mine \cold weather games" was if the game was played in December, January, or February of any given league season. In reference to \cold weather teams" this is for teams that play in an outdoor environment (not a dome) above the 39◦N latitude line. These teams include the Chicago Bears (Memorial Stadium used in 2002 at 40.099365234◦N [6], Soldier Field used from 2003-Present at 41.8625332◦N) [7], Green Bay Packers (Lambeau Field used from 1957-Present at 44.501389◦N)[8], Kansas City Chiefs (Arrowhead Stadium used from 1972-Present at 39.048889◦N) [9], Buffalo Bills (Bills Stadium used from 1973-Present at 42.774◦N [10] and \Toronto Series" from 2008-2011 at the Rogers Centre, Toronto Canada [11] at 43.641438◦N)[12], Cleveland Browns (FirstEnergy Stadium used from 1999-Present at 41.506111◦N)[13], Cincinnati Bengals (Paul Brown Stadium used from 2000- Present at 39.095◦N)[14], Denver Broncos (Empower Field at Mile High used from 2001-Present at 39.743952◦N)[15], New England Patriots (Gillette Stadium used from 2002-Present at 42.091◦N)[16], Pittsburgh Steelers (Heinz Field used from 2001-Present at 40.446667◦N)[17], Philadelphia Eagles (Veterans Stadium used from 1971-2002 at 39.906667◦N[18], Lincoln Financial Field used from 2003-Present at 39.900833◦N)[19], Seattle Seahawks (Lumen Field used from 2002-Present at 47.5952◦N) [20], Baltimore Ravens (M&T Bank Stadium used from 1998-Present at 39.278056◦N)[21], New York Jets and Giants (Giants Stadium used from 1984-2009 at 40.812222◦N [22], MetLife Stadium used from 2010-Present at 40.813528◦N)[23], and Minnesota Vikings (TCF Bank Stadium [64] used from 2014-2015 at 44.976◦N)[24]. The research only takes into account home games from the 2002 season and on- wards because that is when the Houston Texans became the 32nd team in the NFL [25]. 3. Results Between the years 2002-2020, there were 5057 games in this time period. The overall record of all teams was 5046-5046-22 which gives you an overall winning per- centage of 50% or 0.50. This will allow this study to assume the odds of winning or losing a football game in the NFL is 50/50 probability and is random which is de- fined by \events that cannot be predicted with certainty, but the relative frequency with which they occur in a long series of trials is often remarkably stable," [26]. The table and graph below shows this phenomenon is associated with NFL teams and their winning percentage, home-field winning percentage, and cold weather winning percentage from 2002-2019 and 2002-2020. *Winning percentage was calculated by taking (wins + (ties*0.5))/(total number of games).* 12 BRANDON JOLY AND MEHMET DIK Table 1: NFL Teams Winning Percentages Table.

Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural features designed to accommodate the conditions under which they are placed, and their individual costs reflect the sophistication of these features.

  • The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation Seeks a Program Officer to Join the Program Team in Southeast Michigan
    The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation seeks a Program Officer to join the program team in Southeast Michigan. The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation is a grantmaking organization dedicated primarily to sustained investment in the quality of life of the people of Southeast Michigan and Western New York. The two areas reflect Ralph C. Wilson, Jr.’s devotion to his hometown of Detroit and greater Buffalo, home of his Buffalo Bills franchise. Prior to his passing in 2014, Mr. Wilson requested that a significant share of his estate be used to continue a life-long generosity of spirit by funding the Foundation that bears his name. Based in Detroit, the Foundation has a grantmaking capacity of $1.2 billion over a 20- year period, which expires January 8, 2035. This structure is consistent with Mr. Wilson’s desire for the Foundation’s impact to be immediate, substantial, measurable and overseen by those who knew him best. Reporting directly to one Vice President, the Program Officer is responsible for supporting the development and implementation of grantmaking strategies, and communications support around these strategies (both for the Foundation and for Foundation initiatives with grantees and partners). This includes writing; managing grantees, key vendors and special projects; implementing grantmaking strategies; proposal analysis and evaluation; and partnership development. The responsibilities fall into the categories of grantmaking, grant monitoring and grant evaluation, communications and community relations and administrative responsibilities. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in implementing and managing grant making, and strong research and analysis skills. Additional required competencies include: excellent oral and written communication skills, creativity, performance focus, flexibility, detail orientation, visionary outlook, and teamwork and cooperation.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

WATCH LIVE : http://mediatoday.biz/nfl/ The last time the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs met in the AFC Championship Game, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen weren't even born. Instead, Hall of Famers Jim Kelly and Joe Montana were the starting quarterbacks as the Bills bested the Chiefs 30-13 on Jan. 23, 1994. Advancing easily, the AFC's pre-Patriots dynasty moved on to their fourth straight Super Bowl appearance — and loss. Indeed, it marked the end of an era for both teams; Montana's final game and the last gasp of a Bills regime charred by the losses that mattered most. It's the cross Allen and the 2021 version of this team has to bear, that 0-4 Super Bowl record as they seek the team's first-ever NFL championship. After a long run of futility, including an 18-year playoff drought and six straight last-place finishes in the AFC East, they're on the precipice of rising again.
